I think the main idea, like you say, is to enjoy. For someone to take the time every day or even every week to sit down and relax a couple of hours and just listen to music, and close thier eyes and concentrate on Mozart or even Patricia Barber is ...

This guy is certainly trying...... What I have heard shows at least speakers that are very listenable [/quote]I listened to some of these "Designs" too and for me it is not only Pain For Brain, it is a pale joke. A Fart sounds...

Hello,I just logged myself in so first of all: Hi Everybody ;)Few days ago I aquired a pair of very interesting 3way horn speakers which seem, as I imagine, to ba an ambitious DIY project from the past. These are basically the Altec Vott A7 replicas ...

[quote user="Frode"] It seems like they are ending their sale of horns to the DIY community. Also, some people say that www.azurahorn.com are closing down. Not good news![/quote]Which brings a very interesting subject: a huge failure of horns-industr...

I have been looking in to mid bass horn designs to experiment with lately for the 4 way horn pa I am working on. As usual Good Sound Club always is on the Google search when dealing with any kind of horns. Although my reply to your post may be a few...

[quote user="Paul S"]Anthony, congrats on your amazing progress! I know how hard it is to carve out time for this stuff! I see you are looking for gain from your pre-amp, which makes me wonder if you have been using the passive Placette, as opposed t...

Yes, this sort of OT stuff is real drudgery; but unfortunately, it must be decided and implemented by the true OCD DIY Audio Guy for "best possible performance".The two options with respect to keeping the horn "conditioned" (temperature and possibly ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Twogoodears, What you are experimentation now has yet nothing to do with DPoLS. You deal with the relatively rudimental ceremony of speaker positioning. It is not even close to the subject of DPoLS but it is also greatly ne...

Hi!Sorry for not spotting this thread before. I'm the member of this forum and I read it from time to time. I don't know what do you mean with "he is from diyaudio.com site"? I'm member of a few formums and newsgroups but I wouldn't say that I'm from...

Jarek, please re-read my previous post, also Romy's recent post on this subject, carefully. I'm afraid you are in for it once you start effing with power cords, for all the reasons we've listed. Here in the US we have a company that sells used cord...

[quote user="guy sergeant"]How did you find the 'shop' and the speakers?[/quote] The shop and the speakers were fine, pretty much at pair what I expected. I would like do not share my observations about Vox Olympians performance or Sound. All that I...

I think the problem starts when we short circuit the process. It is easy enough to sell "the Best" of anything and still get mediocre results. If we are looking for a modular approach to DSET/speaker, then the results are also best guess because ther...

Here is a stupid need of DIY audio level. As many of you know am big lover of Nichicon electrolytic capacitors, even their lowers grade sounds right to me and never made to think about anything better. Still the Nichicon never stopped to surprise me....

For some time I have felt that most audiophile phono stages are over-built, especially those pretending to be thought-out, "no-compromise" designs. Ironically, it seems to me that few (or none) of the "thought-out" designs I have seen and/or heard a...

Who knows why, but I can get away with running tiny, unshielded 6N POCC Cu arm wires straight into my step-up transformer. OTOH, I absolutely have to use shielded cable for the run between my step-up tranny and the K&K. For well-shielded phono ...

This is kind of an old topic which I noticed about fifteen years ago when I was beginning to be interested in stereo and I noticed that I did not like the typical stereo sound that was being sold to me. I am half-Japanese and I got interested i...

I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

Thanks, Gordon
I have absolutely no desire to undertake any DIY efforts for MiniMe amp. The amp that I want will be boxed, with bells and whistles, binding posts and matters. There were plenty of top of the line Yamahas, Sonys and Sansuis were...

Adrian, as a purely practical observation, I just re-read your examples of the format you suggest, and I have to say I would need a good deal more information than that before I could figure out enough of what was going on with the componen...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I very much doubt that we need any AC line dedicated stabilizers; even though I do feel that it is good to have more or less stable line.[/quote]Well, this is a very general statement, perhaps too general? I'd say that *pu...

...and it is a neat 1.5VRMS with zero attenuation. So with my -6dB it puts out 0.75VRMS, so not quite as bad as I thought. I will have to do some listening to try and determine whether -6dB is needed or if I can get away with less attenuation (zero...

In this exalted company its probably not up to much but I've not heard anything else demo-ed that makes me want to change. :)Front end: Vista laptop with XXHighend software (best sounding bargain in Hi Fi). Fireface 400 external soundcardDAC/Pre amp:...

Romy, it is the UB horn that I need to first tune. Have found an earlier post of yours where you describe your process and will roughly follow it. First thing though is to measure an impedance sweep of the horn sitting in place to get the base line...

Moreart, if you ask my opinion then let me to decide what is relevant. Your idea of “how” your horn work is self-delusional in my view as whatever you imagine you do go overridden by deficiency of your mouths and by other problems that your enclosure...

Hi Romy. Sure but its nice figuring out main contributor to specific sounds. Inspiring DIY people to change flavors to their prefs. I dont like the buy or die mindset. I just managed after lot of time & money to get my components to copy the vox ...

No, the speakers like Altec 19 have time miss-aligned drivers. The majority of 3-4 way horn speakers with oken/jensn as a bass that you might see in internet also very seldom time-aligned but it is excusable as the DIY-audio people are mostly Morons ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Scooter, I wonder how many people among those who propose those modifications do understand what they deal with when we are taking about a more or less properly reproduced sub 30Hz signal. It sounds like arrogant comment, n...

Hi Romy and othersI am in the initial stage of planning a new home, which will have a dedicated music room. I noticed Romy in another thread you were impressed with the rough stone walling. This looks like a great way to disperse reflections. What I ...
